Being Mary Jane Starring Gabrielle Union – BET

Being Mary Jane – BET

One of the most well written drama series on television today is not found on a major network like NBC or CBS nor does it run on an award winning cable network like AMC or HBO – it resides on BET and it is enthralling millions each and every week with it’s combination of incredible storytelling and compelling performances. Being Mary Jane has become a runaway hit and has been picked up for another season and that means several casting calls for outstanding roles of all sizes for aspiring performers. Interested actors and actresses can apply today for consideration for parts in the all new batch of episodes of one of TV’s fastest growing shows.

Being Mary Jane stars the fantastic Gabrielle Union (Bad Boys II, Bring It On, Think Like A Man Too) as Mary Jane a smart and successful talk show host who on the surface seemingly has it all but spends most of her time navigating a hectic life complicated by her family and romantic troubles. Each week Mary Jane toes the line of having everything she could ever want and having everything fall apart while audiences the world over hang on each and every word.

Being Mary Jane is written by Mara Brock Akil the mega-talented, award winning writer/producer behind such hit series as The Game, Girlfriends and The Jamie Foxx Show. She has cast an all-star collection of performers alongside Ms. Union that includes Lisa Vidal (Star Trek, The Event, ER), Margaret Avery (The Color Purple, Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins, The Cosby Show), Omari Hardwick (The A-Team, Sparkle, Miracle at St. Anna) and Latarsha Rose (The Hunger Games, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Swingtown). More outstanding roles will be available in the new season and actors can submit themselves today for consideration.

Sarah Dupuy

Hi,

I see all of thess comments are from 2 years ago but I know the show is still growing strong so I’m hoping that you still check this feed from time to time. My name is Sarah, I’m 50 years old, but I look 35. I’ve always wanted to act and I absolutely love this show. I’ve visited Atlanta and have lived in New York City for most of my life, Brooklyn specifically. I relocated to New Orleans about 7 months ago because I have family here but I’d happily return to NY or relocate for the chance to be part of this show. Gabrielle Union, the screen writers and producers of Being Mary Jane have delivered an intelligent and thought provoking show that I’ve been glued to since season 1. The show has inspired me to want to persue acting once again. I would be honored for any opportunity to read for a principle role. I am 5’7, about 145 pounds, brown hair and brown eyes and a very fair skinned, black woman. I could pass for Latina but my background is Haitian. Born, in the US to Haitian parents. I look forward to possibly hearing from you!

Bryan McNair

The essence of entertainment lives within me. Standing at 5.5 and a half feet of heart and passion, I should be featured in this production because I am capable of bringing screens to life. The name “Bryan McNair” is one that brings with it a desire to entertain, a desire to learn and grow in the world of theater and film, and the desire to give life to any role that might be put in front of me. Aside from being a very animated personality, I also sing and capture the attention of crowds fairly easily. I love improvisation, and there is no greater feeling than to be naturally funny and to successfully garner the attention of complete strangers. I live to be under the light of entertainment. With a huge imagination, there is no angle that I cannot play and master with personal spark and infinite charisma. If selected, my positive energy will fill any missing piece of a production’s puzzle.

Aarati

Hi, my name is Aarati and I’m from Southampton in the United Kingdom. I love this show and I feel like drama is one of the genres which I can pull off really well, as when needed I can be very serious and convincing. I am a 15 year old Indian girl who is quite tall and skinny and having the opportunity to be part of this show is amazing. Acting has always been something that I’ve loved to do but never gotten the opportunity, so I would love if you considered me for a role.

Ariel Kossi Amemavor

I started watching and completed the first season of BMJ within 24 hours, it is masterfully written just like my other favorite drama “The Game”. I love the idea that both series have lead characters who ARE NOT PERFECT. They are very real and have series flaws with dark and ugly aspects to their personalities, I fully understand this and hope to be given the opportunity to portray this far more interesting aspect of human nature.

I am 19 years old and have no other passions aside from acting. I am a naturalistic actor, with limits in acting that I have yet to discover, I am dynamic and I tend to use emotional memory to bring the characters that I play into life. I love to be challenged with new and unique character roles. I am open to criticism as it helps me perfect the craft that I love.

I look old enough to play a male character in their 20s. I am slim, with a mean 6 pack 😉

I believe I am the sort of actor that any screen writer would seek after in order to bring their scripts and imaginations to life in the most captivating way.

Tara Kasey

I love Gabrielle Union! She is so beautiful, and interestingly, people ALWAYS tell me i look like her! I am a 16 year old female musician, model, actress, and YouTuber! I have music on SoundCloud, I perform at local talent shows and theatre performances, and I get up in front of cameras and post videos on YouTube. I would love to have the opportunity to audition for Disney! It seems like a lot of fun and it would help me further expand my fan base. You may look me up on Google to find more out about me (any points I may have missed).

I am a gospel rapper and poet but acting has always been a passion of mine. As a single mom, this dream has been placed on hold for my family. I feel that now is the time to pursue. They say better late than never and I am ready for my “better late”. Thank you for anytime that you may have.

Hello,

This is one of my favorite shows on television to date. Not only would it be an honor to be apart of this awesome cast, but I feel that I could also offer something new. I played professional tennis for a year, and decided to go back to school. I received a degree in public Relations/Marketing at Georgia State. I’ve currently been traveling as a Tennis Pro and just been waiting for someone to offer me the right opportunity to show that I can be a great actress. Just to work alongside some of the best actors,such as Gabriel Union, would be a privilege!

Courtnee Nicole

Hello,

I would be honored to have the opportunity to be cast for this series. Since it first aired, I became an instant fan; mostly because it relates so much to my everyday life. Acting and modeling is something I’ve always wanted to pursue, but felt I had to go the traditional route to please others (i.e. go to college, get a job, etc). Now that I’ve done that and landed a great job, I feel that I’m very much so ready to pursue other opportunities, and see exactly how far I can go! Mostly, to please myself! I’ve done acting in middle school and high school, and have started to dabble in the modeling world as well. Put me in the game coach! 🙂

TaNeishia Chantal

Just a little about myself…I’m a 26 yr old African American female living in a small town outside of Atlanta, Ga. I’m looking to make my way into the entertainment industry. I’ve always dreamt of performing in front of an audience. But due to the lack of money and with no connections within the industry, it makes things difficult. I still won’t give up. I’m very dedicated and I’m determined to do whatever (with class) it takes to get to the top. If given the opportunity I will work hard and dedicate my life to it. I was drawn to Mary Jane because she is just like me. She’s young, dedicated, always there when she’s called upon, and searching for true love. Unfortunately, she’s drawn towards these men who always let her down but because she’s so vulnerable to be loved she falls for it. I know in due time both Mary Jane and I will both find what we’re looking for in life. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Ashley Harris

I’ve had a passion to be on the big screen since childhood. I could always see myself being apart of this industry. I didn’t know much about it then, but as I aged I looked into it more. I’ve taken classes with a major organization and have learned alot. I know this field requires alot of dedication and hard work! I am able, willing, and ready. I have the look, personality, training and drive. I think this could really benefit me and be a life changing opportunity; considering the fact that this is not only my passion, but a goal, a dream.
